Hi Greg, I did figure it out. 

What the setting were in the Sites.xml file was wrong. I at first used what was in the example that allowed me to copy and I had also tried the tool to make this work. But it would not work either way. I finally found someone in my organization but with a different department who had one that I was able to modify. I am not sure why MS would have offerings that would not work. And they did not necessarily give the best directions on creation of the sites list.

Ok that's good to know. I am using the enterprise cloud site list (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-cloud-site-list-mgmt), but my Service Desk was reporting to me that there are some users that don't even have the IE mode settings available in edge.  rafalw15851895 mentioned this issue also. For everything that I've tested, the cloud site list is working perfectly fine

    hi ken, 

     

    Please i have an issue with my Microsoft edge not been able to reload in internet explorer mode, i am currently using the latest Microsoft edge Version 111.0.1661.54 (Official build) (64-bit), 

    i have turned on allow site to be reloaded in IE mode, but whenever i try to reload a site in IE mode, it never switches to IE mode, and keep rolling as if trying to switch, i have uninstall and reinstall IE11 in optional features but the issue persist. 

     

    pls what can i do, i need it for my work, because the company i work for runs a website only accessible on IE mode

     

    expecting your reply. 

     

    Regards

    Gabriel

    Hi John,

     

    Glad that you got it worked.

     

    Note that it is better to use the Enterprise Site List Manager in Edge to ensure the Enterprise Mode Site List matches the latest schema version (currently schema v.2). You can go to the URL edge://compat/SiteListManager and import the current file. Remember, this tool is not updating in real-time. I will clear the list first, import the current file, edit as necessary, and export the result.

     

    The standalone tool will continue to be available in the Download Center but won't get any feature updates.

     

    Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode-site-list-manager

     

    Regards,

    Ken
